"Toyota, Nissan And Honda To Team On AI And Chips For Next-Gen Cars" - Nikkei Asia
Toyota Motor, Nissan Motor, Honda Motor and other major Japanese automakers will work together to develop software for next-generation vehicles, bringing together their expertise in such areas as generative AI and semiconductors, Nikkei has learned.
日經新聞獲悉，豐田汽車、日產汽車、本田汽車和其他主要日本汽車製造商將共同開發下一代汽車軟件，彙集他們在生成式人工智能和半導體等領域的專業知識。
In a soon-to-be-announced strategy for digital transformation in the auto industry, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will call for cooperation among automakers as a path for next-generation automobile development through the 2030s.
在即將公佈的汽車行業數字化轉型戰略中，日本經濟產業省將呼籲汽車製造商之間的合作，以此作爲到2030年代下一代汽車開發的途徑。
The automakers will sign on the strategy to kick off the collaboration to lower development costs in a fiercely competitive digitization race.
汽車製造商將簽署啓動合作的戰略，以在競爭激烈的數字化競賽中降低開發成本。
The strategy focuses on software-defined vehicles (SDV), a concept in which vehicle functionality is improved through software rather than hardware like engines and parts.
該戰略側重於軟件定義汽車（SDV），在這種概念中，通過軟件而不是諸如發動機和零件之類的硬件來改善車輛功能。
For example, a car without self-driving technology could be given that function with a software update. Some technical issues could be fixed with an update as well, similar to smartphones.
例如，可以通過軟件更新爲沒有自動駕駛技術的汽車提供該功能。一些技術問題也可以通過更新來解決，類似於智能手機。
Some electric vehicles already on the market from Tesla and Chinese leader BYD have these capabilities. As semiconductor technology and artificial intelligence evolve, how automakers respond to software trends will have a major impact on their global competitiveness.
特斯拉和中國領導者比亞迪已經投放市場的一些電動汽車具有這些功能。隨着半導體技術和人工智能的發展，汽車製造商如何應對軟件趨勢將對其全球競爭力產生重大影響。
Toyota, Nissan and others plan to launch SDVs from 2025 onwards. The government is encouraging Japanese automakers to collaborate in seven areas to support development and market expansion.
豐田、日產和其他公司計劃從2025年起推出SDV車。政府鼓勵日本汽車製造商在七個領域進行合作，以支持開發和市場擴張。
The seven areas are chips, application programming interfaces that link vehicle software and systems, virtual simulation, generative AI that can allow for automatic inspections, security measures against cyberattacks, high-precision 3D maps for autonomous driving, and technology to measure distance between vehicles and objects or pedestrians.
這七個領域是芯片、連接車輛軟件和系統的應用程序編程接口、虛擬模擬、允許自動檢查的生成式人工智能、針對網絡攻擊的安全措施、用於自動駕駛的高精度三維地圖，以及用於測量車輛與物體或行人之間距離的技術。
If different manufacturers have different specifications, costs and development times can balloon. The ministry is calling for standardization in the seven areas, where the manufacturers would be unlikely to develop unique proprietary technologies.
如果不同的製造商有不同的規格，成本和開發時間可能會激增。該部呼籲在這七個領域實現標準化，製造商不太可能開發獨特的專有技術。
The basic operating systems used in the vehicles will be developed independently by each company.
車輛中使用的基本操作系統將由每家公司獨立開發。
If SDV technology becomes more widespread, automakers will be able to generate revenue from subsequent software updates rather than just vehicle sales. If Japan lags behind in the development of automotive software, related industries like parts and materials could be hit hard.
如果 SDV 技術變得更加普遍，汽車製造商將能夠從後續的軟件更新中獲得收入，而不僅僅是汽車銷售。如果日本在汽車軟件開發方面落後，零部件和材料等相關行業可能會受到沉重打擊。
